White mold?

IndigenousOrganicsstarted grow question 6y ago

My smart pot is turning white at the bottom. There also appears to be roots trying to pop through. I put rocks between the pot and plate for air. I have one blade of grass and a tiny weed popping up, so conditions at the top of the pot are okay. Should be worried?

Hi! That white stuff is probably build up salts from waterings and shouldnt be a problem Also the roots sticking out is a good thing cos now they will dry from the tip and starts to grow more small roots inside the pot!

if your using tap water.... do no worry at all this would just be the minerals left over after the water dries out.

Fill up plant pots I mounded the soil around the stems of my plants to give them extra support, which creates a small hill in the center of the pot. Now I’m thinking about filling up the rest of the pot with soil to level it out. Is that a good idea? And what type of soil would be best for it?

Adding soil to the new roots on stem Hello everyone, after the night I noticed that there are a lot of new roots trying to grow from stem. I know this is ok, but I wonder can I add some soil on top of the existing to help develop these roots? Won't it cause stem rot? I want to fill the space in my pot

Seedling with mold in drainage Holes :(Hello, Im starting my seedlings and just noticed some white fuzzy mold on the drainage holes of the pot (probably because overwattering). The plants look fine but they're still very young (just one set of good leaves). Should I worry? What can I do to avoid loosing my plants?

when to transplant So, this is the first time I've gradually increased pot size as I feel they need it, instead of planting seedling straight into pots as one does with autos. How long should these girls stay in there pots before they move into 3 gals?
